POOR RENNESSEY.

There is a demagogic tendency on the part of
some papers in the state to criticise severely
any and all expressions of personal sympathy
] for the unfortunate Hennessey, late sergeant
at arms of the Senate, who was recently con-
victed of forgery and received the just penalty
of the law. The brave few who, knowing the
man at his best estate. are not ashamed to
think and speak of him as from the heights of
the time when he was worthy of the friendship
and esteem of honored men, rather than from
the depths to which he has fallen, have the
satisfaction of remembering that Jesus Christ
was the friend of the unfortunate, who loved the
sinner while he hated sin, and that His example
1s, on the whole, as much entitled to respect as
the opinions of the poor man's champion, who
loves the poor man only when he has dollar
to pay on subscription-in advance.-fTyler
Courier.
The Courier does credit to human
nature in what it says of the unco good
who lament commiseration for the fallen.
These ungenerOus spirits would deride
the word OF sympathy for woman who
descends from high estate, yet she was an
object of veneration until the evil befelI.
Penalty for evil doing is natural,
social and civil law, AID it
is Justice and protection, but it is not re
vepge or malice or bigotry. HennesseY
was popular and beloved and honored un-
til he fell, and as the verdict is rendered
in pursuance to law, shall we forget what
was beloved and honored. Let the law
take its course, but let human nature
honor itself in regrets that the law found
exercise on one who vas beloved and
honored and whose fall was more hurt to
society that he was beloved and honored.
Justice implacaDle but not malice is the
demand of human nature.

TWO RECEPTIONS.

The fckleness and caprice Of popular favor
has never been more strikingy manifested than
in the Panhandle during the past few weeks
Judge Willis, the hero and presiding genius of
the mock trials at Clarendon. in Donley county,
which acquitted the cattle barons and turned
over the school lands and actual settlers of that
country to the tender mercies of these lordly
oppressors, saved his judicial head by the tech
nicalities which imposed upon the Senate, and
at once rushes home to be feted ana hon9red
aud treaIed as public benefactor, while jim
Browning, than whom there Is not better or
truer man In all Texas; a man who, taken all
in all, has few equals; who has fought for the
rights and interests of those people in season
and out of season; always at his post;
industrious, watchful, alert and determined,
often impairing his popularity IN other por-
tions of the state through his devotion to the In
terests of his immediate constituents; he.
stood erect in the legislative hall tower of
strength, and the mainstay aad support of those
whose cause he was pleading. This man also
goes home, not to banqu and balls and adu-
latiop, but to be ignored and frowned upon,
and frozen by GOODNESS and boycotted, and per
haps driven out of business. Why? Because
he refused to become Judge Willis champion
| on the floor of the House. He lived in Willis
district and for reasons satisfactory to himself
| and which we can appreciate, he refused TO
| take any part in Willis defense. The cattlemen
| then threatened to boycott him, and now
| they have inaugurated 1t. We do not believe
| that this will last long; but, long or short, he
will out live It, and Will yet fill with credit and
| honor to himself the highest positions in the
gift of the people of Texas Bolton Journal.
THE GAZETTE finds it hard to believe
that this can be a correct report of the
feeling In the Panhandle among any con
| siderable number of people. Jim Brown
ing's sterling honesty and hard horse
sense makes him valuable citizen, and
any community that would seek TO boy
colt him would do itself more hurt than
it could do him. And one thing is GER
tain, he will never surrender his right to
think as he plesses for any reward, or in
the face of any threat. For its own sake
| the Panhandle should not boycott man
whose best efforts have ever been for the
glory and upbuilding of his district.

in unity for the upbuilding of town and
country. Let not your angry passions be
aroused. Say nothing that will divide
and distract after the election is past.
There is no need of hot blood over the
question of how far regulation of traffic
should extend, and there will be none if
at issue is neither moral nor partisan,
and if voters will not permit infammatOry
orations and writings to exaggerate a
mere policial regulation into a moral
question on the one hand or partisan
question on the other, the election will
not disturb the harmony and unity es-
sential to the upbuilding of our beloved
state

Short on Wind.
San Antonio Light,

Fort Worth and Houston, with fewer
natural advantages to work upon than
either Galveston or San Antonio, are
leading these latter cities quarter of 8
century, in intelligent measures for their
growth and development. If San An
tonic would initiate them in the orgsni-
cation of real estate exchanges and 8
bureau of general information, she would
reap great benefit from them. THIS city
has never been known, is not now
known, and it never will be known until
its people 60 to work to make it
known. The press OF San Antonio has
always done it's duty, it's full duty, IN set
ting forth the advantages of this city. 1t
has doomed every enterprise that has
cast q possible shadow of its coming
across the path OF the city's industries,
and is always willing to do so to the end
of the chapter. But there is not that re-
Spouse 10 this effort on the part of the
citizens hele that makes such efforts a
success, and until such efforts are made,
the voice of the press will be compare
lively Intellectual.

italists and why not demand of Virginia
full value of the bonds held by these same
Englishmen2 Should the Salisbury cabi-
net be successful in establishing these
claims this success would do much to-
ward its restoration to popular favor and
SO strengthen it as to render the Irish
policy less offensive to the masses because
of popular approval in relation to the for
eign interests of British subjects. There
is policy as old as warfare, and the meth
DDS of Fabus are as etficscious as when
he used them successfully against Hanni-
bal, the great Carthaginian leader. Hope
delayed has made the Irish heart sick, and
England may cherish the thought that the
dying throes are now at hand.

Philadelphia Record.


The anarchists, fed fat on American
bread and beef, have considerably post
poned until the year 1889 their uprising
against existing social and political
order. This humane arrangement gives
everybody timely warning. Besides, il
will enable the country to hold one more
general political election-then will come
the anarchist deluge. 1t is estimated by
their organ, The Red, that the
number of anarchists in the country
by 1889 will be 100000, OF
whom there will be 25, 900 In New York
and %, 900 in Chicago. These are toe
many madmen to be out of the asylums
all at once; but, fortunately, by 1889 the
American people will number about Co.
900, 900, and In New York and Chicago
there will doubtless be lamp posts and
rope enough for the occasion. If ever
the anarchists should rise in this country,
as some of their crazy leaders threaten,
they will rise but once.

ENCOURAGE the building associations
They are the poor mans friend and the
rich mans security. The great Brooklyn
preacher who lately died once said: "a
man who is working to secure small
piece of property substitutes new and
distinct ambition for a remote and vague
one. Day dreams about large estates
and princely incomes may be very
amusing, but they are not half so profit
able as the vision of lot 5Ox1OO, with a
snug little dwelling house upon it. With
this before him, man will rise early and
late, turning his hand cheerfully to any and
every kind of work. He will have motive
for rigorous economy which will make it
pleasure. He will have visions of the
last payment before him as a perpetual
motive to moderation in passions, econ
omy in expenses, abstinence from expen-
sive pleasures and from expensive COM
panions. Thus it will come to pass that
q iudicious DEBT incurred at the begin
ming of a journeyman's or labOrer's ca
reer,. will become his good genius, watch
ing over him, melting him to all industry
and to self-government. Every labOring
man ought to own his own h9me. The
first duty of the working man should be
to convert his earnings into real estate"

WHEN q crisis seems inevitable diver
sion has at times the effect of averting
peri at home by directing the attention
of the discounted to foreign grieva ices.
This has frequently been the policy Of
British statesmen, and Just now when dis
content is rife in that land it is at least a
coincidence that there are demands made
by this government upon foreign powers
for the adjustment of matters that have
been quiescent for long term and do not
seem to be more urgent at this time than
previously. When Great Britain foregoes
claim, as in the case of the fishery
award, IL is generally quid pro quo, and
the mission of Sir Edward Thornton to
Virginia may be the "quo" of this seem
ing magnanimity. England has been Look
ing up her foreign creditors, demanding OF
the Hawaiian government 81 100000 and
of Venezuela flo, o00, 900 due British cap

Texas Press Association,

WACO, TEX, April 25.-By constitu-
tional provision, it is made the duty of
the executive board of the Texas Press
Association to fix the time and place OF
the annual meetings of the body. The
place was selected at the last meeting in
San Antonio. As no executive board has
been appointed, ano as we learn the
president of the association, Hon. L. L.
Foster, has severed his connection with
journalism, therefore We, the under
signed officers of the body, take the re-
spOnsibility of calling the annual meeting
of the association at Fort Worth on May
"a, 1887, at which time and place We urge
a full attendance, as matters OF moment
to the press of the state will be discussed
and acted upon. Further arrangements
will be announced later. Respectfully,

THE GAzETTE's esteemed friend, Sena-
tor Reagan, will note that Republican
JOIN Democratic newspapers in asking
patience on the workings of the inter
state commerce law. The Chicago Inter
Ocean says: "The inter state commerce
commissioners are likely to earn their
salaries, for the first year of their Of
fetal existence at any rate. The ambi-
guilty of the most important clause OF the
bill from which they derive their power
to act is wise, for the conflicting interests
of the Interstate carriers are so many
that any precise definition would be GER
tain to work injury, and possibly destrnc-
ton, to some of them. The discretion
granted to the commission to enforce or
abstain from enforcement OF certain pow
ers is evidence that the act was regarded
| by It's authors as experimental
The most that can at present be expected
of the commissioners is that they shall
prevent the continuance of some of the
most glaring abuses of freight and pas
senger traffic. Nor is it to be expected
that the complex machinery of the law
will work smoothly at first. The dangers
to the bill are from two sources: the
railroad obstructionists and the vehement
reformers who will cry for amendments
and additions before the commissioners
have had time to demonstrate wherein it
is weak and wherein it is strong. The
patience of the commissioners will need
strengthening by public sympathy with
their efforts to make proper use of the
large powers intrusted to them"

THE Philadelphia Record is another
Democratic newspaper that does not
seem to be amenable to Senator Reagan's
sweeping assertion. The Record says:
! "There is q great deal of blather about
the Ill effect of the recent changes in
transportation rates. Much inconyeni-
ence has unquestionably been caused to a
limited number of shippers by the arbi-
trary exactions of the carrying companies,
made under cover of compliance
with the inter state commerce law;
but it is surprising how few COM
plants have been made by the
mass of traders. A representative
of the Record has been among the large
jobbers of Phila deIphia, and but few Of
them reported their business to have
been unfavorably affected by the revision
of rates. Some are apprehensive lest the
advance in through rates should diminish
their trade with trans Mississippi
markets, the business of which they
have heretofore been able to share with
western distributors, but the greater
number have failed to observe any
serious interruption of their trade with
points Immediately tributary to PhiIadel
phia. In most of the cases in whic h
business with local points has been
crippled by the advance in rates the
transportation companies have been
forced to make a more equitable re-
adjustment OF their freight tariffs, and
trade is again moving without obstruc-
tom

THE very latest IN regard to Mr..

why? What mean these journeyings to and

AN eastern paper made an odd blunde1
in announcing a town in prohibiting Kan
sas as the place for holding convention
of national drunkards. Such conven-
ton, according to the argument OF the
ants, would fare better in Maine,
although an occasional tipple might be
obtainable in Kansas. 1t was, however,
q mistake of one letter, the letter that
was so fateful in 1882. The Dunkards, q
well known sect, will find Kansas an
agreeable place to hold their meeting, and
their well-known habits OF temperance
will there escape temptation.

CHRIsTENNGs are fashionable in Wash

Cameron had one last Sunday of their ten
months old baby; it was quietly done, as
it was not Cabinet baby. Texas may be
out Of the world as regards fashions, but
when it comes to christenings she leads
the procession. There is at least no lack
of subjects for the ordinance, as statistics
show this to be the banner state of Dem
ocrats and babies.

POLITICS, PURE AND SIMPLE

The Galveston News of Tuesday has strong
leading editorial in which 1t contends that pro
hibition is political movement, pure and sim
pie, and that in addition TO the liquor question
it has for it's object the ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the
Democratic party. The Banner fully agrees
with the News and has previously expressed a
similar belief Brennan Banner.
The only movement" that can dis
member the Democratic party in Texas
is one having Tor its purpose the injection
of the party, as an organization, into this
convass.' 1t is an insult to the common
est intelligence to say that Coke, Exall
and Pendleton on the one hand, or Rea-
gan, Maxey and Culberson on the other,
would or could be led into any action
that threatened Democratic dismem-
berment. And what of Ross,
elected by nearly 100000 majority, who
recommended the submission OF an
amendment, and of the Democratic Leg
islature that submitted the amendment?
The men who seek to drag the party into
the fight are the men whose success
would threaten it's integrity. The Dem
ocrats of this state have resolved to vote
on this amendment without regard to
the party whip, whose handle was
in the hands of the Galveston convention
and of the Twentieth Legislature, and is
not in the hands of few self-constituted
trustees of the Democratic conscience.
There are Texas Democrats who intend
to vote for or against the proposed
amendment SIS they choose, and it is a
Islander of such men to say that because
they do this they will hereafter follow
Arch Cochran or Dohoney in war on the
party they have served for life time.
